It was said you have to be "hungry" to write. There's some truth to that but there's also truth to finding a good co-writer who inspires you and work with them.

I heard more than one writer who said you don't wait for inspiration. You make it happen. You do this by setting down every day and spending time writing. Kinda like learning how to do anything, at first, it's hard and you're going to fall. But keep at it and soon you will be writing naturally and some of it might actually be good.

Now.... where's my pencil and pad of paper?

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
